Stayed 7 nights in May 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda R. 14 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing, well-appointed accommodation I couldn't find fault with the welcome and facilities. It is a peaceful relaxing place but plenty nearby if you want more activity. A thoughtful collection of useful groceries was most welcome. The host communicated by messaging when needed. Will be happy to recommend this comfortable accommodation. ##### Linda R.
